Kanye West Is Reportedly "Very Different" Than He Was a Few Weeks Ago

Since the release of his album YE, Kanye West has reportedly been in better spirits than he was earlier this spring.

“Kanye has been so busy with all the new albums,” a source close to the rapper told Us Weekly. “Kanye is very clear, super focused right now. The version of him today is very different than the one we saw a few weeks ago.”

The source is referring to a string of Kanye behavior that made headlines before his most recent album release. He returned to Twitter in the most bizarre way, and eventually had an exchange with Donald Trump. He said in an interview with TMZ that 400 years of slavery was "a choice." He didn't attend the Met Gala with Kim Kardashian, and he released an interview with Charlamagne tha God in which he said he might be POTUS some day.

Despite all that, the source said he's focused on other things right now. “He’s focused on his craft right now and is excited [about] how much everyone is liking his new music,” the source said.

Kanye released YE on May 31 and a joint album with Kid Cudi called Kids See Ghosts on June 8. He has three more collaborative projects in the works right now that he produced, which is why he's focusing primarily on recording and releasing the albums.
